New single- 'Me Without You' - There is something very special about getting to share this project little by little, bringing attention to each of these songs that I spent so much time with. Deep into recording this album, my mega-talented friend @ksrhoads dropped by the studio. Knowing we needed a couple more songs to round out the record, @casoncooley and I convinced him to stick around and write a song with us. Lucky for us 'Me Without You' was born! I wanted to release this song heading into the holidays - partly because it goes well with a hot cup o cocoa and partly because the holidays feel like a good time to remind the people we love that we love them. That's what this song is all about. Turn your sound on for a snippet & download/stream the full song in bio link! LoVE. Katie

Little behind the scenes of @annieherzig painting lyrics for the 'Feel Alive' video. Thank you to all you who shared with us your #MyFeelAliveStory! I didn't anticipate how moving they would be. Lyric art recipients will be contacted later this week! If you haven't seen video yet, link is in my bio. 💜
Excited to share with you my new Lyric VIDEO for ‘Feel Alive!’ It features hand lettering and painting by my sister @annieherzig who is a wonderful illustrator. Knowing this song holds a special place in her heart, I asked her if she'd be up for helping me make a lyric video. What came next was some serious free-form collaboration and experimenting on both our parts. In the spirit of sharing and being vulnerable we’re doing a special thing on Facebook over next few days asking people to post their #MyFeelAliveStory … this song is about finding hope & encouragement & light on the other side of a loss or a dark/difficult time. If you are inspired by this, please share a story how this relates to you or a dedication or reflection. We will pick a few of our favorites and those people will receive a very special hand-made 'Feel Alive' song lyric piece of artwork with hand-written lyrics and illustrations from the video. The way to 'submit' is to leave a comment here or on Facebook or you can share the video on your timeline with your story (use #MyFeelAliveStory in your post). Some people are sending private messages too and that is great and counts too! If you choose to partake -- thank you in advance for your vulnerability. This week has shown us the power of sharing our stories and reminding us we are not alone. Hope you enjoy -thanks for listening! Love, Katie (link to FB and Vid in bio)
Look at these little touring babies with their camcorder! 9 years ago today it says. What in the whaaaat. That was back when we toured in my old packed-to-the-brim CRV, made herzi-blog videos, and felt like we were on a constant road trip! I decided to post this pic to mention that & thank @spotify for adding my new song 'Feel Alive' to their #songstosinginthecar playlist --instead of a pic of 'Feel Alive' in the playlist right after @taylorswift 's new single 😍😍--because memories, because roadtrips, because this photo makes me think of all the songs I sang to in that car with these girls I adore- @jamlin & @claireindienunn !!

New Single 'Feel Alive' out today -- This week was a tough one. To be honest, it feels like a weird time to be releasing music, when so many things are going on in the US and the world. But again, I remind myself that music/art is one of the biggest gifts we have in tough times. So with that in mind I share with you my newest single, 'Feel Alive,' from my upcoming album Moment of Bliss (coming early next year). I wrote this song when a friend of mine was grieving the loss of her mom. My heart was breaking for her, having lived through that (six years ago this week actually), I wished I could offer some sort of comfort from the other side of that grief. So that's where I began. Writing and recording this album took me through many seasons and along the way this song became an anthem of encouragement - a reminder that light waits on the other side of any dark time. Truly. Love and blessings to you. I hope you enjoy. X Katie (Link to listen & download in bio! And shout out to my collaborators on this one🙏🏼@casoncooley @superbuck @jeremylutito @tylerburkum & Veronica Ferraro
Fake tattoo on my chest! You know what that means.... new single out TOMOrROW! 🤓
New VIDEO for 'Strangers' Alert! A couple years ago I moved into a house on a hill. And for the first time since moving to Nashville, I was able to see the sunset every night. There are a lot of mixed feelings in a sunset. Similar to the feeling I get in the Fall. So beautiful and yet so temporary--changing before your eyes. My song 'Strangers' feels like the sunset to me, in the beautiful space where happy and sad co-exist, where everything feels temporary, but just on the edge of every dream coming true. Imagine that. We decided to shoot a video in this space, nothing flashy, just reflective. I hope you enjoy. Link to full video in bio. Xo Katie
Watching the Emmy's tonight reminded me I never really did a proper post of my Emmy adventure earlier this year! Here are some pics & vids-some of which I shared on my Instagram stories that night... it was such a wild thing to be nominated (thank you @mrpeabodyandshermanshow )! The Emmy I'm holding is not mine (I got 2nd place as you can see on the last vid😉, it belongs to the oh so talented @kevinzilla2000 pictured w/me & Dave Smith:) I picked the least awkward red carpet pic & vid I could find-- believe me it was not pro how I handled that! But I got a cookie at the end so.... also @butterflyboucher was the best date & had way more comfortable feet than I did! Big congratulations to all the winners and nominees tonight!! So many great shows happening right now.
These hot beets.
Yoooou guuuuuys, I'm pretty darn happy I get to finally start sharing songs from my new record with you. Today I'm releasing Strangers. It's the first song on the album (which I'm calling 'Moment of Bliss' 😍... to be released in early 2018)! This song was one of the first I wrote for the album and it holds a special place in my heart. My best buddy producer extraordinaire @casoncooley and I produced this song (and the album!) & @butterflyboucher provides the ethereal bgvs and artwork! And you know I just hope you enjoy it!
